Wallington Hall Trip
In Michaelmas Term 2009, the SCR was delighted to welcome Lloyd Langley — curator of Wallington Hall, a National Trust property in Northumberland — to Grey College as Visiting Fellow.
In May 2010 Lloyd invited SCR members to Wallington for an afternoon in the grounds followed by afternoon tea and a private tour of the house. The sun shone and a splendid day was had by all.
